His lips curled into a devilish grin as he watched her struggle, relishing in the thrill of the hunt. With a gentle yet firm grip, his hands curled around her small waist as he pulled her close, his touch sending a wave of electricity skittering down her spine. She gasped as she felt his icy touch, her breath catching in her throat as she realized the futility of her efforts to escape. "You cannot run from me, sweet angel." Lucian purred, his voice dripping with honeyed promises and wicked intent. "You are mine to claim, body and soul." Dabria trembled as she met his gaze, the intensity of his silver eyes burning into her very core. There was a hunger there, primal and insatiable, that sent a thrill of anticipation coursing through her veins despite her fear. As Lucian drew closer, his presence enveloped her like a cloak of darkness, suffusing her senses with a heady mixture of desire and dread. She could feel the heat of his breath against her skin, sending shivers of anticipation down her spine as he leaned in closer, his lips hovering just inches from her own. In that moment, Dabria was powerless to resist him, her will crumbling beneath the weight of his seductive charm. She closed her eyes, surrendering herself to the inevitable as Lucian claimed her with a kiss that ignited a firestorm of passion within her soul. ------------

Can the heart’s emotions truly survive the weight of duty, the chains of lineage, and the grip of tradition? Or will ancient customs crush every heartbeat before it even begins? When the heart becomes a battlefield, and love is branded as betrayal, when closeness is a danger no one can afford— who dares to love against all odds?

But when his heart becomes entangled with someone he was never meant to get close to, will love be his salvation... or his downfall?

In a world that shows no mercy to the weak... who has the courage to love?

Life on Rust-12 is harsh, and hope is rarer than water. When a catastrophic mine collapse takes the life of his only family—his uncle Samuel—Kaiell’s world shatters. But from the ashes of grief rises a burning dream: to escape Rust-12 and join the Krugers, the elite intergalactic army sworn to defend humanity from the Voidlings—nightmarish creatures that erupt from cosmic rifts and devour entire worlds.

Nuriel had created the Scepter System with one purpose: to peer into the mind and master what others could not do. Betrayed and assassinated by the very colleague he trusted most, he should have died. Instead, he woke in another world, one shaped by magic, war, and ancient ruins that whispered of gods long gone. But the Scepter System, against all logic, still worked. It pulsed with power. Nuriel would not just survive. He would rise. He would uncover the truth buried between worlds, from his murder to his transmigration, and take back what was stolen from him. And in the end, he would reach the realm of gods, if only to tear it apart.

In a world where strength is forged in silence and every movement speaks a truth… one blade waits. Lián Kaifeng does not boast. He does not raise his voice. He has trained one saber form for five years — and has never drawn it in public. To most, he is a nobody. A quiet disciple in a fading sect. To some, he is a mystery. To others, a threat. But Kaifeng is not here to be admired — he is here to master the art of stillness, strategy, and death. As rival prodigies rise — the hot-blooded spear prodigy Zhao Xuejun, a calculating mind-reader, a swordsman who forgot his past, and a trickster cloaked in shadow — Kaifeng watches. He waits. And when he strikes… the world will understand what it means to perfect a single truth: One form. One breath. One death.

Waking up in an unfamiliar world with no memories, I had only one advantage, a mind filled with knowledge of fictional tropes, clichés, and common sense learned from countless novels. At first, I thought I was trapped in a romcom nightmare when I started triggering events like "Helping a Girl on a Rainy Day", "Damsel in Distress", and "Tripping Into the Heroine’s Arms." Naturally, I shut those nonsense down before they could escalate. No forced romances. No misunderstandings. No cringe. But something was clearly off. The world wasn’t just a slice-of-life comedy. Beneath the cliché academy setting, there were whispers of awakening powers, hidden dangers, and a brutal magic academy entrance exam. And every challenge I prevented or manipulated was an opportunity to grow stronger.

After the fall of the heavens, Dan Kyorin awakens on Solaris-III—reborn in the body of a dying, discarded boy. His past is gone, his memories lost, but deep within him stir instincts not of this world.

Before breath. Before name. Before flesh. In the primordial sea where consciousness stirs before birth, two unborn souls drift through a dreamscape of forgotten gods, ancient truths, and shapeless teachings. Hector and Victoria are not yet children. Not yet anything. But in this realm outside of time, they awaken — and learn. Guided by beings long erased from memory, they explore a world woven from thought itself — the Web of Consciousness, where every being’s magic is born and defined. From gods of grief and forgotten desire to elemental truths etched into silence, each encounter grants Hector and Victoria power, wisdom, and mystery. They are not told who they will become — only that the thread they weave is different. But they are not alone. Far across the mortal world, an empress makes a pact with an angel, bearing a child shaped by divine law. In the decaying lands of demons, a king’s hatred invites an angel of rebellion to bear another child, one destined for destruction. And in secret, two archangels violate sacred edict and conceive a third soul — a child born of balance, to stand between salvation and ruin. This child is Hector. As Hector and Victoria grow closer in the formless void, sharing dreams, pain, and a haunting hum they vow never to forget, their bond deepens. But their birth into the physical world looms, and with it, the unraveling of everything they’ve come to understand. Three children. Three origins. One world that cannot hold them all.

He doesn’t chase dreams. He builds empires. Cold. Controlled. Untouchable. Every step of his life is calculated — until he walks in. A new idol. Too loud. Too bright. And wearing a face he thought he’d buried centuries ago. But this boy is not the past. And yet, something inside him won’t let go. He tells himself it’s nothing. Just coincidence. Just resemblance. But the way his heart reacts says otherwise. And some ghosts don’t stay buried forever.
